2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 58

In the spirit of LB trying out trade options

1.
Ponga - RTS
Tuala - Mitchell next week (or any CTR up to $596k)

Cleary as halves cover, Hiku as WFB/CTR cover

2.
Cleary - Walker
Tuala - Leilua

Walker as only halves cover, Hiku as WFB/CTR cover (so if DCE/SJ are out before Ponga comes back, i'd have to move Walker and play Hiku in WFB. if its a late scratching I might have to play short)

I think most of us will be relieved when we run out of trades so we dont need to worry about this stuff. Just ride it home baby!

This is why Im hoping James might not play. If Latrell is rested I will have to play Holland and Mann. So meaning I won't trade James in will trade in Cotric.

Goosters are last to play. Why do you guys think Latrell will be rested?

For option 1, are you bringing Ponga back in at some point?

My gut tells me that neither feel right...

Just saw a video Cordner confident he will play. 

Wonder if I should keep James or trade in RTS or Cotric instead just to have that cover just in case next week.

Ryan James has left camp Coogee and is on route back to @GCTitans. He will rejoin @NSWRL Blues upon their arrival in Brisbane on Monday afternoon. @telegraph_sport

I don't but was some mention of interview recently saying Latrell is tired and poster predicted may get rested. Just paranoia of not fielding 17 for me

Robinson was on 360 a few nights ago and said Latrell is feeling the effects of origin and will need a rest. He didn't say he will definitely rest him but looks like he will have a game off at some stage. Thats what I read into it.

What does that mean? He doesn't play Titans game?

Robinson was on nrl360 & re Mitchell he said that origin takes it's toll mentally & physically & that he would need a rest at some stage. The way he said it inferred Mitchell won't play round 18. I am a Latrell owner.

It means he is playing.

If playing for Titans why rejoin Blues on Monday? Just to watch from sidelines?

every team always has an 18th man in case of last minute injury

Either way I have only 1 trade left, so maybe I'd get Ponga back, but couldn't rely on it.
Neither is ideal but injuries, and poor choices have killed my trades this year so I have to make do with what I have.

My guesstimate scoring puts them about the same points wise, but its close enough that it will depend more on injury and form than anything I can account for in my predictions. But that is only if Ponga only misses 2 games. Any more than that and the 1st option starts looking better.

3rd option is Ponga - RTS and Tuala - Leilua this week.

9 weeks of Leilua equals 8 weeks of Mitchell at current averages

Josh Morris is expected to play this week. Pray for Holland

Pray for Holland
